There's an urban legend that if you slow down 'Memory Hatch' by exactly 14.2x on a sound card, you can hear a second voice.

In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials.
It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.'

I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones.

Listen to the lyric: 'The hatch is open, let the echoes breathe.' She was literally singing about the prototypes that came before her.
